A Lass

Lucy Hamilton whose light shone across an entire ocean, to brighten the moonlit sky upon my endless nights.

Lucy Hamilton Princess of Ireland

The brightest star in the night sky

I chanced upon an evening walk

beneath the stars with you

Transformed was I to hear you talk

so bright and shining too

 

Emerald eyes from which you gaze

taken from your lands of green

Shone back to me in loving ways

more beauty than I had seen

 

I listen for each and every thought

to flow from your beautiful mind

Everything you say I am then taught

in greatest measure and kind

 

Daughter and heir of precious dreams

sweetest of days morning dew

Oh much more ever than she seems

such is the beauty of you

Author's Note

Lucy Hamilton whose light shone across an ocean. To brighten the moonlit sky. Upon my endless nights.

Dear Lucy:
Each time Becky and I hear your voice on the phone we light up, look at each other and smile over the beauty that is you. We both wish you all our love from centuries and ancestors past and present.

I appreciate your alternate end rhyme used, and how you capture its beauty and description.

[Tate Morgan]

Onyia I thank you sir

[Lilly]

The Irish accent is so beautiful I think. I was lucky to grow up around it. I feel something about it is quite magic, as if made for storytelling...

Really lovely poem too Tate!

Tate, this is just absolutely precious!! I feel as if I am there with you and Becky when she calls!! She must indeed be a beautiful and special Lass!!
Thank you for sharing this glimpse of her with us!!!

[Tate Morgan]

Sheila so nice to hear from you.Thank you dear a beautiful sentiment from you

[David Lewis Paget]

There's certainly something about the lilt of an Irish accent that transports us into a rich culture of poetry and myth. Such a shame that the other side of the coin has been violence, murder and fanaticism. Nice poem though, and well conceived.

[Tate Morgan]

LOL Where did that come from Dave LOL Ill be over in a bit to see all the new stuff.

[David Lewis Paget]

Just talking about the Irish 'troubles' Tate. Bloody Sunday etc., and Roman Catholic/Protestant infighting.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

she is beautiful...but i like how you find her mind beautiful...i am always for any man who sees a woman as more than an object of beauty...

this is a really moving poem with beautiful imagery.
